Abstract

A casing having an external shell surface includes a casing body, a magnetic element, and an external shell surface. The casing body includes multiple sidewalls and a movable cover, wherein the multiple sidewalls and the cover enclose to form a box shape. The magnetic element is disposed on at least one sidewall of the casing body. The external shell surface and the magnetic element are magnetically attracted so as to fix the external shell surface on an outer surface of the sidewall. The sidewall provided with the external shell surface has a through hole. The casing having an external shell surface prevents an individual from removing the casing without a user's authorization.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A casing having an external shell surface, comprising:
 a casing body, comprising a plurality of sidewalls and a movable cover, the plurality of sidewalls and the movable cover enclosing to form a box shape; 
 a magnetic element, disposed on at least one of the sidewalls of the casing body; and 
 an external shell surface, wherein the external shell surface and the magnetic element are magnetically attracted so as to fix the external shell surface on an outer surface of one of the sidewalls; 
 wherein the sidewall disposed with the external shell surface has a through hole. 
 
     
     
       2. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is disposed on an outer surface of the sidewall. 
     
     
       3. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is disposed on an inner surface of the sidewall. 
     
     
       4. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 3 , wherein the magnetic element comprises a head and a neck; the head is disposed on an inner surface of the sidewall, the neck extends into the through hole and is connected to the external shell surface, and a width of the head is greater than a width of the through hole. 
     
     
       5. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 1 , wherein the external shell surface has a protruding column, which has a position corresponding to the through hole and is accommodated in the through hole. 
     
     
       6. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 5 , wherein the protruding column protrudes from an inner surface of the sidewall. 
     
     
       7. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 5 , wherein the protruding column does not protrude from an inner wall of the sidewall, the magnetic element is disposed on the inner surface of the sidewall and is magnetically attracted with the protruding column, and a width of the magnetic element is greater than a width of the through hole. 
     
     
       8. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 1 , further comprising a lock disposed at the cover. 
     
     
       9. The casing having an external shell surface according to  claim 1 , wherein the external shell surface has an opening corresponding to an input/output (I/O) port, and the opening has a position avoided from the through hole.
